A one-year-old baby was ejected from a car in Reconquista, Argentina, after a municipal truck's rear gate snagged the parked vehicle. The incident, captured on security footage, shows the truck's gate swinging open and striking a Fiat Siena. The impact caused the car to spin, and the baby was thrown through an open window onto the street. Fortunately, the child received immediate medical assistance and sustained no serious injuries. The baby's father, Enzo Agustรญn Valenzuela, described the terrifying moment, stating he couldn't see anything on his child when he picked her up from the ground. He also noted that the truck driver's alcohol test was negative. Police identified the truck driver as Adriรกn Marcelo Faccioli, 49, and confirmed both drivers tested negative for alcohol. This incident follows a recent fatal car accident in Santa Fe province where four young people died after their car overturned.
